The Ferrari 512 BB “Competizione” was the competition version of the standard 512 BB – Ferrari offered a “Le Mans” kit to upgrade standard cars after a flood of requests from serious customers.
The development of the racing version was started by Ferrari’s Customer Assistance department in 1978. Once completed the kit would offer significant performance improvements including a power increase from 360 bhp to 460 bhp, a weight reduction from 1,400 kilograms to 1,230 kilograms, and a slew of other improvements to make the car a genuine threat on track.
...
The car you see here is a 512 BB that benefits from a period fitment of the rare Ferrari Le Mans Kit by the original owner Markus Kiesgen, a founding member of the Ferrari Club Deutschland.
The body was also modified, the pop-up headlights were removed, front and rear spoilers were fitted to aid aerodynamics, and fender flares were added to cover the new wider 9 and 12 inch wheels used at the front and back respectively. Larger brakes were also fitted to help slow it all down on the race track, and racing tires were fitted.
Kiesgen raced the car extensively between 1980 and 1985 in Germany, it would later be entirely revised by Bratke Motorsport in 2006 with the engine and gearbox rebuilt, the bodywork carefully restored, an FT 3 tank was installed, and a modern (safer) FIA-approved roll cage was added.
In 2012 disaster struck at the Red Bull Ring when an oil starvation issue caused an engine seizure. A 12 month engine restoration was undertaken, bringing the car back to its former glory. In 2016 and 2018 the car competed at the Le Mans Classic
The 512 BB is now accompanied by a current FIA Rennpass and it has engine rebuild invoices confirming it produces 475 bhp – 15 bhp up on its original figure.
